Right now I have 2. The 3-stone is mrb, and the solitaire is OEC

@jaysonsmom - I love your three stone and I love the proportions. I'm planning a new three stone. Would you mind sharing both your finger size and the ctw or each stone in your ring? Its proportions are perfect to my eye.

PS And your soli don't exactly suck, neither!! What a stunner!

Until I typed this all out it wasn’t apparent just how many rings I wear as e-rings. Well just don’t tell my husband lol!

I’ve been wearing this pairing this week, the top ring is platinum with very intricate details and a transitional cut diamond. Bottom is a single cut eternity called Pearl’s ring because it has an inscription “Dave to Pearl”
6C2B798D-8DD8-47E3-8848-AB2A1EC01954.jpeg

Next is this yellow old mine cut diamond that David Klass made a setting for, the engraving is amazing on it:
9B5A75DF-5553-49D8-93E5-4513AC9A9476.jpeg

This is the Queen of Hearts, platinum with an 85 point OEC diamond. It’s stacked with a sapphire eternity and micro pave eternity. Freaking adore this ring:
B498E180-AAF5-45CA-A731-033079B8A192.jpeg

This is one of the few colored stones I wear as an e-ring, lavender spinel in a Stuller setting:
40544137-36C7-40AD-B827-B3D12287886A.jpeg

Blondie, a champagne OEC, the diamond band is soldered to the e-ring. Fancy Pants is a bit much to wear as an e-ring but she looks pretty here so…

Last but not least, this Garrard diamond ring, either worn with a super thin rose gold band, Pearl’s ring or a micro pave band:

@mrs-b :Thank you, my 3-stone is made up of 1.81ct approximately 7.8mm center with 0.5 ct sides. My finger size is 5.5. I think this 3-stone has a lot of presence and spread. I often wear it alone, when I just want to wear 1 ring.

Glad I’m not the only one in this club! It’s funny because I don’t realize how quick my turnover is until old threads get bumped. It’s a bit embarrassing really!

You’re taking to us! Haha For whatever reason I can’t do the smilies on my phone! There’s no time right now for my IPad..

I have a meeting this morning for David. Also I have a repair guy coming this afternoon. When there’s a lull I’m going to get my stuff and start sorting them out. I think I have less than last time. I have to look. One of the stones is now in a bangle. I was trying to reduce the amount of rings I have. I’m rolling my eyes..haha..

That’s a great way to show how you wear them instead of on one hand. I’ll do that!

I love them all! I cannot choose a favorite.....maybe Queen of Hearts?

@MamaBee, I posted the hand shots because they were already on my phone lol! That’s just me being lazy plus trying to cram them all on one hand usually ends up being a comedy of errors for me ;-)

I just took them off because my son went to show my grandson pics of him and his brother on my IPad. There were more pics of my jewelry! I was so embarrassed!

I just have to run to the bank..Then I’ll get mine out. I really think I have less than before!

I did take a few of them before the day went south. They are awful photos. It’s so hard to get ones that represent what they look like in real life! 2E6817E2-1439-46A9-9B18-5F10C8669101.jpeg 594E7334-CE74-4AB0-BC03-2D5DAECBDEBF.jpeg ABCA31CF-4B8E-4FB2-8461-88E722FE1334.jpeg

They are all so beautiful @MamaBee even in the not so great light! That said I’m really partial to that cluster, it’s so hard to find a good one!

Thanks @YadaYadaYada..There wasn’t anything sun..I’m going to go outside tomorrow for a retake. I’ll put them all on my finger. I hope I don’t drop them in the dirt! I think you did that once, right?

Good memory! Yes, dropped an 18k band in the leaves and never found it :(

Ok! This is the best I could do with limited photography skills. They were not playing nicely! The ACA..Winter…looks dead in this pic. Just look at my avatar! :lol:

@MamaBee -

That. Cluster. !!!! :love: :love: :love: :love:

And both your resets, where the center diamond was removed, came out just amazingly well!

And tell us about the bezeled colored stone? I love that setting! Super simple - super gorgeous. I've found, as I've gotten older, that my number one requirement for jewelry is that it has to be comfortable. Long gone are the days where I'm prepared to suffer for fashion! I don't like heavy or clumpy, but I DO love safe, and sleek, and "it never catches on anything..." I love a bezeled cushion or EC - just stunning.

So. Two questions. Firstly - looking at your collection, it is utterly clear to me that - one day, at least - you'll reset your solitaire. Thoughts on that?

And secondly....

When are we going in together to buy our dream emerald cut?? 4cts. Minimum.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

ETA And just came back to say - thanks for sharing, J - all your things are so beautiful and it was nice of you to make the effort when I know how busy you are.

@mrs-b Thank you! Yes..I definitely want to reset Winter. I’ve sent tons to David without worry. Winter is too expensive for me to casually send her through the air to the other side of the United States. I‘m going to wait until I can fly out there…I will hand it to him in total trust. It would be on him to send it back to me...I would be less worried that way.
The bezeled ring is supposedly a silver spinel. As you can see it isn’t silver…It wasn’t the color I was hoping for..I didn’t want to send it back overseas so I just told him to make it in silver and bezel it.
I‘m on a ban..but I’ve been toying with trading in Bee :eek2: towards an emerald cut. I told my husband no more money gifts..He may or may not listen to me. If he gives me one this year then I may trade it in for a smaller EC. I can then trade up..depending. I love Bee though..I may just bezel her and forget about the EC. I would reset the bangle with a colored stone. My brain is fried with overthinking…Of course if we do halfsies..that would be awesome! 4 carats is my dream ring! ❤️

Ok friends here are my various erings!
First is my wedding set which is a custom Brian Gavin dream wedding band and matching ering with a 1.17 G VS2 Signature diamond.
Next is my new cushion made by DKJ. She is a custom ring of 1.5 P SI1 center and .8tcw OP sides SI1. Set in platinum with heart prongs.
Next is my VC Emilya set with a 1.16 L OEC. I forget the clarity but I think it's VS1.
And then I have my great grandmother's diamond. I've never had it appraised so I don't know the stats but maybe around a 1.2 I or J color?
Someday I'd love an AVR and an ACA! I'm very happy and content with what I have but hey a girl can dream right lol?! 20211006_172819.jpg

I have no doubt in my mind that you will have those too one day! :lol:

@MamaBee, I’m dying over the clusters! Didn’t realize you had two, lucky lady! All your rings are gorgeous, I wouldn’t be able to decide which ones to wear!

Thank you @YadaYadaYada! I love clusters. I would love to get more but that isn’t happening. There was one photo of a gorgeous cluster I was saving for a long time. It was just too expensive. It was torturing me so I deleted the photo. I think I’m going to go back to see if it’s still there. I actually forgot which vendor it was! I’m still not buying it though..sigh...
